It just started this past weekend. Now if I dont let her warm up for 3-5 min before I ride she runs a bit rough. When I start her to run it idles a bit weak and sounds like it almost dies. I thoght I got some bad fuell( always use 92 oct.) so I put a fuel boost in and it didn't help. I'm going to check the pluggs friday when I'm off. Any other sug.? Thanks in advance. Aaron  | ||

If it starts up good (strong starter) and the lights don't flicker much you can probably rule out the battery or charger. I agree if you let it warm up for a while as you say and it runs good but if you don't let it warm up for at least a minute and ride it could be fouled plugs or just not warmed up enough. If you find even when warmed up it still runs a bit rough (for a V-Twin) it could be timing or TPS. If the tach doesn't dance around the 1000 mark or just above at idle then it could be too low. Personally I let it warm up for at least 30-45 seconds during the day with multiple rides and if sitting for more than 4 hours I let it warm up at least 2 minutes...usually check the fins on the left side with my hand and when they are starting to get fairly warm to touch then I put the gloves on, do easy take offs the first few times, and then go for it after that! | ||

Mine does the same. I know it's partially due to fouled plugs. | ||

i pulled the plugs got the expensive buell ones and the problem went away....i also learned that my bike was a bit gummed up from sitting all winter. A 110 mph blast down the highway cleaned her right out | ||

Thanks ALL for the help. I'm going to pull the plugs tomorrow and see if they are as fouled as I think they might be. Aaron |
